Errr... she. Don't worry, even those engines that say they can figure out if the author's male/female get it wrong, too. Geekness transcends gender.

Ummm.. that's kind of hard, because you haven't told us what you're thinking of shooting in future. But I'd say Nikon or Canon, and you'll probably be just fine.

I see there is mixed feelings about IS in the body and IS in the lense. For a noob, what will be the best option? Taking into consideration that I will for the first year or so just use the kit lense.
If you go Canon or Nikon, you're stuck with stabilization in the lens. It's only the other makes that have in-body stabilization in the SLR range. This is the biggest selling point of the other makes if you don't need the lenses/accessories that Canon and Nikon offer. If you really are going to be doing nothing but snapshots, portraits, and landscapes, you may do just fine with any body that meets your pricepoint. It's when you suddenly find you have to shoot a high school basketball game in the gym that you'll get stuck.
